This might be a bit girly!

This is my first make with the Tando prize, their arches were the first of their products that I ever used and it has been ages, years since I last used this format.  It was so refreshing to do so again.

The colour scheme is taken from the Tando monthly FB challenge, it is a closed group which puts of spammers but it is a very friendly group all crafters welcome.

I used DI inks Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Broken China, Peeled Paint and Picked Raspberry.   All applied with Inkylicious brushes over a Gesso white base.

Colours added a layer of Viva crackle paste scrapped over in varying thickness.    This adds texture and plays a little with the colours making them less flat and more interesting.

To decorate the arch a quick look through my pile of left overs the wisteria stamped on acetate just fits nicely into the frame.   The abandoned butterfly rests comfortably on top.   The butterfly was on white paper which has now been dusted with Scattered Straw and Rusty Hinge.

Wonder where there is no path is a motto I craft by.   Once completed I realised that there are a couple of other challenges this qualifies for.
